The Phantom Pain - New IP Or Sequel/Prequel

For the un-initiated, if you look below you will see the mentioned trailer as well as a few screen shots from said trailer. All of which look like an awesome thrill ride through a burning hospital where you are being hunted down by masked militants. All of which giving kind of a Survival Horror feel to it. Remember you don't need the undead for a Survival Horror. Anyways, the protagonist bares quite a resemblance to the MGS franchise's main character, or a small list of others if you know the lore. Also if you know your game engines, it looks quite similar to the FoxEngine, another link back to the franchise.

Knowing all that and seeing all that, including some of the other hints littering the internet, wouldn't it be a grand joke if those were placed there to through people for a loop while the true big reveal was still in the works? If rumor is to be true this would be part of Kojima's handy work and why would it be beyond the realm of his mentality to do so? I think that would be the best way to generate a whole world of buzz for a new IP. Yea, it might upset those who are dying for MGS 5, but then you can turn around and say "well here's something you might not have tried until the new Metal Gear hits shelves."

Seeing as the rest of you live in the real world though, I highly doubt that will be the case. It'll most likely be easier for you to just assume that The Phantom Pain is either the working title or going to be the sub title to the next iteration of the franchise. If it does turn out to be the ploy described above, then I will gloat and rub it everyone's faces. All six of you non-bots out there.

What do you think? Am I just a weird hopeful or is this the soft announcement for Metal Gear Solid V? Comment below.
